LED vs Halogen and Incandescent

LED lighting has superior long life capability of up to 50,000 hours compared to halogen lamp life of around 1,500 hours

LED’s generate very little heat and are safe to be placed near plants, children, pets and kept in confined spaces. Halogen and incandescent lamps generate high heat and cannot be placed near the above objects or in confined spaces.

LEDs emit no UV and will not fade precious fabric or artwork, whereas halogen generates higher UV and will attract insects and fade artwork and fabric over time.

LED lamps can be dimmed similar to halogen and incandescent

Incandescent lamps are being phased out globally over the coming years due to inefficiency

LEDs are waterproof and can be used in water features, wet areas and pools

LEDs can be placed in ANY location whereas other lighting need to consider placement regarding heat, glare, safety and ease of maintenance
